Yes I’ve stayed in a few and would like to think I’ve been a well behaved guest. The owner could certainly have been more thoughtful couldn’t he?

We’ve stayed in a few Airbnbs over the years. Next one in a week or so when my daughter, grandson and I visit my parents.
We’re always very conscious of the neighbours and behave ourselves 😁

Me too.
We always treat the AirB'NB property like home and we are quiet people so we consider the neighbours.
I can understand why the poster is worried though, particularly in a block of flats.

I can understand why you’re worried - it would have been neighbourly of thrm to contact you at least snd perhaps give you a contact number in case there’s a problem. Do you know how big the flat is? Maybe it’ll just be couples staying?

AirBnB is loathed in Edinburgh. These short term lets have hollowed out the town centre and now it looks like they're coming for residential areas. I'd never, never stay in one. It's a long term home lost for a family.

We have a holiday let in a block of 4 apartments, we have a communal garden and parking area too.
In nearly 5 years there has not been a single problem🤞.

The apartment is 2 bed two bathrooms so is never going to attract a crowd.
The majority of guests are 40-70 in age range and apart from 1 couple every guest has been respectful, this had no impact on other residents.

The permanent residents are happy as they would rather the short term guests than 1 bad or noisy couple/family living there permanently.

Sorry just read that you think he’s avoided PP, in that case draw it to the attention of the Planning department, they will not give him your name.

He may have have PP to let the flat as a business. Also what does the lease say? There are often restrictions as to subletting and businesses.

Just found out that a neighbour has put his flat up for AirBnB and Booking.com. Just what we all dreaded. It's a residential block in a quiet area and most of us are older. He's advertised our parking area and access to our lovely shared garden. We are so upset. The thought of inconsiderate short term letters who won't care how much noise they make or mess they make of our shared common areas is awful. Nothing we can do. He's sneaked it past planning regulations and short term let licence. We'd certainly have registered objections. Och. angry
